Marine drone would tackle the Great Pacific Garbage Patch

The video discusses the vast amounts of plastic waste floating in the North Pacific Ocean, forming a large garbage patch. It introduces marine drones as autonomous vehicles designed to collect this plastic waste. These drones use infrasound to deter fish and coordinate with each other via sonar. Once full, they return to a central location where the collected plastic is loaded onto ships for recycling.

What depth range does most of the garbage float in the ocean?

• At the surface

• Between 1 and 5 meters

• Between 5 and 10 meters

• Between 1 and 10 meters

What is the primary material that the marine drone collects from the ocean?

• Plastic

• Metal

• Glass

• Organic waste

How does the marine drone keep fish away from its basket?

• Using a net

• Infrasound system

• Chemical deterrents

• Visual signals

Describe how the marine drone coordinates with other drones.

• Using GPS

• Via sonar

• Through visual signals

• By radio communication

What happens to the plastic waste once the drone's basket is full?

• It is dumped back into the ocean

• It is burned

• It is loaded onto a ship for recycling

• It is left on the shore
